Chapter 660 The Former King Didn't Die?

Chapter 685 The First King Didn't Die?

Outside Youzhou. '

Already far away from the area of ​​Youzhou, they took a small road, bypassed Heishui, and headed home.

The Tubo army that was sent back totaled about 3 people.

Thousands of people were left behind, and these people were basically craftsmen or other soldiers with some skills.

The Youzhou people detained all these thousands of people and included them as part of the "compensation".

The Tubo king was naturally angry and hated, but he could only agree numbly.

What can I do if I don't agree?

He brought more than 3 people with him, but he was unable to break through the encirclement. If he left a few thousand people behind, he could be let go. This "deal" is a good deal no matter how you think about it.

As for what will happen to those left behind, he doesn't want to think about it, and he can't think about it.

He didn't even dare to think about whether the people he took away were laughing at him in their hearts.

This made the King of Tubo look depressed all the way back to Tubo.

Those who were on the road with him held their breaths, not daring to provoke the king.

Some people murmured to their confidants in private: "You said, if we rush back like this, what will happen if we really return to Tubo?"

The king is not dead, he returned safely, but Tubo already has a new king, what will happen to these people who follow the king back?I can't imagine it!

A confidant said: "It must be the two kings fighting! But the king is always the king, and the new king is on the throne. If the name is not right, the king must have the upper hand! Besides, there are the prime ministers and the others..."

"Don't mention the Prime Minister and them. They were the king's people before, but they will still be the king's people in the future, so it's hard to say!"

As soon as these words came out, several people around him fell silent.

Yes, the prime minister and those ministers who discussed state affairs were indeed the king's confidantes before.

But those adults are the ones who dominate the new king. In this case, even if those adults are not the new king's people, they have to stand on the side of the new king.

With the king's character, can those adults really be accommodated?
In their view, this is justifiable. After all, the information is not equal, and they were deceived by the people of Youzhou.

But in the eyes of the king, this is betrayal, right?
At this time, the king of Tubo was also thinking about this problem.

He was thinking, what happened this time, in the final analysis, was because the prime minister and several ministers had believed the false news. If they hadn't believed the false news, they wouldn't have fallen for the tricks of Youzhou!
"These people are so stupid, they can't stay." He thought to himself.

But the premise of doing this is that he must first restore the rights that belong to the king.

The new king is already on the throne, will he easily step down from the throne?

He didn't believe in human nature, so he naturally didn't believe that the person who had tasted the high position would be willing to step down.

Therefore, he must be fully prepared!
"Pass down the order to let Da Chi and Ru Kun come to see the king!"

Dachi and Rukun are both ministers of state affairs, among several ministers of state affairs, the two most trusted by the king of Tubo.

Hearing the Tubo king's order, someone immediately responded and rode his horse forward, and returned to Tubo first, and passed the order to the two of them.

The reason why only these two people were allowed to come first was because their brothers and sons were among the army he brought to Youzhou.

This is equivalent to having a "proton".

The other few people have no relatives in the army, at most they have a few close disciples.

For those who value blood, this is naturally nothing.

However, even with the "proton" in his hands, the king of Tubo is not sure about the attitude of these two people.

If neither of these two came quickly, the King of Tubo would be able to have a clearer judgment on the current situation in the capital of the King of Tubo.

He is very calm now, although he didn't lead the army to defeat the Youzhou army, but he is familiar with everything about Tubo, if the new king doesn't obediently welcome him back, then he can directly attack and send troops into the capital.

At that time, he can directly kill the new king and the new king's henchmen, and wipe them out.

In fact, this was the situation that the King of Tubo wanted to see most.

I'm afraid that the new king will have someone else's idea, and he won't expose this big secret to him, but make false claims with him.

This situation is what the Tubo King hates the most.

"I can't wait to kill these people one by one!" He thought with a gloomy face.

The people who rode their horses back to the capital of the Tubo kingdom in front were still not as fast as the flying pigeons.

As early as the king of Tubo signed a treaty with Youzhou, the king of Tubo led his army out of the encirclement.

And long before that, because the merchants were allowed to enter frequently, the news that the king of Tubo was not dead had been sent back to Tubo first.

In the capital of Tubo, the new king looked pale and walked back and forth in the palace hall, keeping saying: "The previous king is really still alive? Has he come back? What should I do, what should I do, what should I do..."

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?" The person who had just arrived was helpless when he saw that the new king didn't even notice that he was coming, so he could only raise his voice louder.

As a result, the new king was frightened!

He has a not too distant blood relationship with the Tubo king, but compared with the "previous king"'s ruthless methods, he is like a "little white rabbit", giving people the impression that he has a good temper.

And this is probably the reason why he was finally selected and became the new king.

The person who came to him was his confidant and his father-in-law.

The new king's current concubine is the minister's youngest daughter.

This minister is now also the Minister of State, and even the Chief Minister of State.

The minister said: "Your Majesty, your complexion is not good. Could it be that you are worrying about the former king?"

"Hey!" After being pointed out about his troubles, the new king sighed heavily.

"The former king is still alive. This news is absolutely true. Not only did I get the news, but I also confirmed it again and again. I'm afraid it's the same for others. Now people in the capital are flustered. Tell me, what should I do? Retire, I can't retreat, I can't retreat, the former king is back, how should I deal with myself?"

"Why bother, Your Majesty? You became king with the consent of the prime minister and all the ministers of state affairs, as well as the consent of the others. You did not usurp the throne, but inherited the throne justifiably. It is a good thing that the former king came back alive. You can Give the former king preferential treatment and let him be honored and raised in the capital as the most honorable nobleman. As for the replacement of the throne, this is not a trivial matter. The continuous replacement of the throne in a short period of time is not good for Tubo. I believe that even other people, I will definitely prefer you to sit on this throne paper, rather than that previous king."

This is indeed true. Compared with the violent and powerful previous king, this new king who looks good-tempered is more in line with the current appearance of the king in the eyes of the Tubo nobles and ministers.

At least such a person sits on the throne, and the head on their neck can be more stable!
